Chapter 9

 

As the Ronin Warriors and Cale rush across the field toward Satsuki, they don their armors. Sekhmet, seeing that they are no longer alone, leaps to his feet and rushes away into the cave. Breaking away from the rest of the group, Cale and Sage run after Sekhmet.

 

“Sage!” shouts Cye, as he runs toward the downed woman.

 

Pausing, Sage glances over his shoulder to look at his friend.

 

“Satsuki is hurt!” shouts Cye.

 

Turning around, Sage returns to the group and kneels down beside his sister. Drawing the knife from her body, Sage's armor begins to glow in a green light. Laying his hands gently over the wound, Sage closes his eyes as he sends out the green energy into Satsuki's body.

 

A moment passes and then another before Sage opens his eyes. Staring down at his sister, Sage takes a breath. Removing his hand, where once an ugly slit had been, now is healed skin.

 

“The wound is healed,” says Sage, before rolling his head back to look at his friends.

 

Standing up, Sage turns and strides toward the entrance to the cave. Just as he reaches the mouth, he notices the shadow of a man walking out. Stopping, Sage watches as Cale exits the cave.

 

“The fucker disappeared,” snarls Cale, as he walks pass Sage and toward Satsuki.

 

“Meaning you lost him in the cave?” asks Rowen.

 

“No. I mean he teleported away,” says Cale, as he leans down over Satsuki. Just before he picks her up, he slips his main armor off, then lifts the unconscious woman into his arms.

 

“Then there isn't anything else we can do right now,” murmurs Mia, watching the former warlord gently cradle the woman in his arms. “We'd better head home for Satsuki, so she can rest and heal.”

 

“Heal?” asks Kento, glancing at Mia. “But Sage took care of that.”

 

Ignoring the Ronin of Strength, Cale walks away from the group with his precious cargo. Following behind him, Sage drops his armor and then removes a set of keys from his jeans, so that he can open his car for Cale.

 

Stepping up next to Kento, Cye lays a hand on his friend's shoulder.

 

“Not all healing needed will be physical,” says Cye, before he moves off to join the others.
